Labels don't rotate when set by pyplot.subplots #7150
Description
I expect the code
figure, axes = plt.subplots(2, 2, subplot_kw={
'xticks': range(30),
'xticklabels': [matplotlib.text.Text(text=date.strftime('%m%d'),
rotation=45) for date in stat_dates_list]
})
to perform like this:
but got:
And I wrote
for ax in axes.flatten():
for label in ax.get_xticklabels():
label.set_rotation(45)
and finally got what I want.
I look into axis.py and find that in Axes.set_ticklabels,
get_labels = []
for t in ticklabels:
# try calling get_text() to check whether it is Text object
# if it is Text, get label content
try:
get_labels.append(t.get_text())
# otherwise add the label to the list directly
except AttributeError:
get_labels.append(t)
# replace the ticklabels list with the processed one
ticklabels = get_labels
It totally ignores the kwargs of t if t is Text like what's in my code above.
I think it would be more reasonable if it got not only the label content but also other kwargs if it is Text.
